Chapter 1635: Chapter 1627: The Monk’s Other Side
"May I ask Empress Feng, what exactly did the little fox do wrong?"
Monk Fengxi asked solemnly.
"It falsely accused my palace of poisoning Lady Shifei."
Empress Feng scoffed coldly.
"But it couldn’t speak nor communicate, how could it accuse? Besides, Empress Feng, you came to bestow kindness today; if you start a slaughter, it will defile your own heart. Since you are unharmed, please spare this little creature."
After speaking, Fengxi patted the little fox’s head.
The little fox, seeking favor, nestled against Monk Fengxi’s chest.
Xin Lin watched from the side, feeling speechless.
You wouldn’t think it, but this little fox is quite a flirt.
However, speaking of beauty, Fengxi and Pride Corpse are equally impressive, yet the little fox doesn’t seem to drool over Pride Corpse, does it?
Ye Lingyue mused inwardly.
Little did she know, the little fox was petrified of Gui Hu, afraid to even steal a glance lest it cuts short its lifespan.
Empress Feng’s forehead pulsed with anger.
Yet she knew she couldn’t reclaim the little fox from Monk Fengxi today.
As for that culprit Shi Fei and the suddenly appeared Princess Tyrant of Fuzhou, she had no means to deal with them either.
Empress Feng was so infuriated she almost suffered an internal injury, but considering her dignity, she could only force a smile.
"Since you spoke, let’s leave it at that. People, return to the palace."
After speaking, Empress Feng gave Shi Fei a sidelong glance and left Taichang Temple under the guidance of the nannies.
"Fengxi, you’re quite impressive."
Xin Lin breathed a sigh of relief, smiling broadly, about to greet Monk Fengxi.
Unexpectedly, Fengxi merely nodded towards Shi Fei, not even acknowledging Xin Lin.
"Lady Shifei, apologies for my late arrival."
"No need for formalities, Master, thanks to you, the little fox was able to avert danger today."
Shi Fei replied with a smile.
"This little creature is destined for me; I plan to keep it in the temple for proper reformation."
Fengxi smiled, patting the little fox’s head.
Reformation?
Upon hearing, Xin Lin knew trouble loomed.
"Fengxi, this little fox is mine, I can’t let you keep it."
After speaking, Xin Lin quickly stepped forward.
The little fox, upon hearing, buried itself in Fengxi’s embrace, unwilling to show its face.
Compared to Xin Lin, it preferred this handsome monk.
"Benefactor, please exercise restraint."
Fengxi’s handsome face remained stern, his gaze towards Xin Lin devoid of any softness.
Xin Lin was stunned.
The Fengxi before her was different from the one she’s known.
"Fengxi, you don’t..."
Just as Xin Lin was about to speak, she suddenly realized her current appearance.
Fengxi hadn’t recognized her.
However, Fengxi was always cordial to others, even to Empress Feng; why was he frosty towards her?
Xin Lin felt somewhat discontent.
"Master Fengxi, this is Princess Tyrant, I was saved thanks to her speaking up. She is a spiritual delicacy master from Fuzhou."
Seeing Fengxi’s attitude towards Xin Lin, Shi Fei hurriedly approached to explain.
Upon hearing, Fengxi’s expression remained indifferent.
He looked at Xin Lin.
"Your Highness, Princess, next time you enter Taichang Temple, it would be best to use the main gate. Otherwise, don’t blame Fengxi for being disrespectful."
His words carried a hint of tension.
Xin Lin was taken aback, recalling she had climbed over the wall to come in.
Usually, isn’t that always how she came in?
Little did Xin Lin know, in Fengxi’s mind, the only person permitted to climb into Taichang Temple was that one individual.
